The Salt Princess

Out Now!

Once upon a time, in the Kingdom of Zammarud, there lived four princesses. The youngest, Princess Amal, always loved to stir up trouble--just for a little fun. Until one day, her playful spirit led to a misunderstanding with her father, the king. In his embarrassment, he banished her from the kingdom. But all was not lost for Amal. To reunite with her family, she'll just need to prove that life is best enjoyed with a sprinkle of seasoning. . . .

The Salt Princess is the second of the Everlasting Tales collection, multicultural folktales passed down through oral tradition now refreshed for a modern audience.
